The Kansas City Chiefs will soon find out what life would be like on offense without wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who's arguably the best in the NFL in his position. Whether he's the best wideout or not in football, Hill leaves a gaping hole on the Chiefs' offense and it will be mostly up to head coach Andy Reid how Kansas City will address that in the 2022 NFL season.
Reid also expressed his true thoughts about how the Chiefs lost Hill, who got traded to the Miami Dolphins after he and Kansas City was not able to come to terms for an extension deal.
Via Chrean Williams of Pro Football Talk:
“You can handle it any way you want to handle it. We handled it the way we did there,” Reid said from the NFL owners meetings Monday. “We felt like Tyreek deserved an opportunity. We came in aggressive and then after we got to a point, we just said, ‘Hey, listen, in this day and age, you have issues that you have to deal with with the cap,’ so we felt like it was better to allow him to go ahead and be traded. You can go different routes. You can play hard ball with a player and do that, or you can kind of go about the way I did. Or we did.”
Hill got shipped by the Chiefs to Miami in exchange for rights to a number of future draft picks. The Chiefs also made some moves to help fill the void of Hill's departure, acquitting the services of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes Scantling, who are both decent options downfield but just not the level of Hill.
